While the Dodgers are obviously stacked with pitchers -- seven were invited -- the prospect closest to making an impact is a position player. Joc Pederson would likely be on his way to the bigs if the Dodgers were not already so crowded in the outfield.

Others will argue that Zach Lee is the closest of the bunch to making the MLB roster. They think that a late-season call-up should be expected to get prepared for a starting role in the 2015 season.

One thing to keep in mind is that no matter how great of a spring training these young players have, they will likely start off the season in the minors.

Just look at last spring with Yasiel Puig. He tore up the competition with a .500 batting average and still did not make the opening day roster.

Of the 15 non-roster invitees, Chone Figgins is likely to have the best chance to make the MLB roster. He must prove that he can still compete at replacement level in the MLB, but at least he has been there before.

The beginning of Spring Training is only two weeks away, with pitchers and catchers reporting on Feb. 8.
